DUBLIN, April MIR. William O'Brien,
in expressing his opinion OF the governments
land bill introduced in the house of lords,
characterized it as the most ridiculous pro-
duction that had ever come TO his notice.
Under its provisions, he said, tenants could
obtain no relief until they declared to the
Judge in bankruptcy that they were posi-
lively unable to pay rents, and as there were
probably 5000 tenants in ireland and only
twenty iudges-l5,O 900 cases for each judge
it would require several years to dispose of
the cases certain to grow out Of the appica-
ton OF the bill Meanwhile the landlords
would get nothing from their land, and for
this reason they can hardly be expected to
favor tue measure, while the Parnellites re-
gard the coercion bill as mercy itself COM
pared with it.
Michael Dayitt welcomes the bill as a pow
erful ally of his own land scheme. In his
opinion the bill is sure to result in confusion
worse contour led, and therefore most likely
to bring nearer at hani the only possible
and final solution of the Irish question-state
ownership OF the soil

Brilliant Plea for His Suffering
Coantry-oBHien's Contempt for the
Measure-The Gar Shot at.
LONDON, April 2.-In the hotse IF com
mons Friday evening Smith suggested that
if the first reading OF the crimes bill could be
taken Friday night the second reading of
the measure could be fixed for Tuesday.
This, he said, would allow week to inter
yene between the second reading of the bill
and its arrival at the committee stage In
urging the Importance of advancing the bill
to its second reading without delay, Smith
declared it to be the imperative duty Of the
house to decide upon the principle Of the
measure at the earliest possible moment
A division was taken upon the rule Of
cloture, and it was carried by vote Of Sfl
to 253. The first reading of the crimes bill
was agreed to without division.
Parnell, resuming the debate, said that
parliament had been put in possession of the
complete plan Of the government with all its
naked dishonesty, The government, while
pressing the adoption of coercion with haste
that was simply indecent, had refused to fol-
low the recommendations of the land COM

| question lay in the passage of a justly regu-
lated purchase act. II this was done, with
the establishment of fair prices and the ab-
/ sence of coercion, the Irish tenants would
| fulfill their obligations TO the last penny.
| The power which the bill gave to magis-
trates, which among other things, permitted
them to imprison their political opponents,
| Parnell denounced as absolute despotism,
and depicted the horrors of tho bill, which
he declared disappointed all hopes of better

on ireland. He urgently counseled the peo-
pie of Ireland to submit TO the injustice of the
bill rather than resort Generalization or the
| commission of any act that might drive
Gladstone from the support of their cause.
| Parnell's speech was one of the best be has
ever made in the house of commons. 1t was
intensely dramatic throughout and com
manded the close attention OF every person
within the sound of lis voice. His perora
ton was remarkably effective and created
marked sensation.

bate.

why the debate should be adjourned, rathe

loss of over $4,000 through kissaue's
forgery, and as he is now wealthy and has
no idea of making restitution the Indictment
should stand.

mitted his guilt, but his sentence in iS9t was
